Mr. Pinet is a graduate of the School of Business and has been a member of the University faculty since 1942. This is his first year as director of the Business Placement bureau.
In former years the busy season for the bureau began in May, but now the graduate-seekers start in March, Pinet said. This indicates that there is now a very active demand for university graduates in business, he added.
"Tardy or not—we'll never get any peace until we let him in."
Jobs Available, Pinet Believes For KU Graduates In Business
Any graduating senior planning to follow a business career has the University's Business Placement bureau working for him.
For more than 20 years the bureau, directed by Frank Pinet, economics instructor, has been serving as the go-between for graduates and business firms. This spring, however, will be the busiest in its history, for already it has received a deluge of applications from both groups.
"Although affiliated with the School of Business and principally serving graduates of that school, we exist for all students regardless of their major field," Mr. Pinet said. The only requirement is that the applicant be seeking a position in business.
Mr. Pinet attributes the increase in job opportunities offered through his office not to post-war prosperity, but to a trend among employers to recognize the value of business placement bureaus as a source of getting college graduates.
At a recent meeting of graduating seniors who wanted the bureau's help, more than 150 applicants were present. Mr. Finet believes that jobs pre available for all. Nearly 100 large business firms will send representatives to interview graduating students on file. In addition, the bureau daily receives requests from small Midwestern concerns.
'Dream' Continued By Popular Demand
"Midsummer Night's Dream" will run an extra night, Prof. Allen Crafton said today. Originally scheduled to play three performances, arrangements have been completed to continue the production through March 14.
The play's second performance was given last night to a full house despite heavy rain. All tickets for the first performances were sold by noon Wednesday.
reservations for future performances are available at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall from 9 a.m. to noon and from I to 4 p.m.
Class Cuts Authorized But Can't Miss Exams
Women students will be excused from classes in the College to attend the Careers Conference, March 18 and 19. However they will not be excused from examinations that fall on those days. Dean Lawson announced that they must sign attendance slips at the conference if they expect to be excused.
Dean Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts, has recommended the same procedure to his faculty. Women in the School of Business and School of Education will also be excused.
Foster To Speak On Marriage
Dr. Robert G. Foster, professor of marriage and the family at Merrill-Palmer school in Detroit, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser auditorium, on preparation for marriage. The lecture, a part of the Careers Conference, will be open to both men and women.
Dr. Foster taught a class in marriage and family relations at the University during the summer session of 1946.
He was graduated from New Mexico Agricultural college, and later went to Washington, D.C., as director of 4-H clubs over a 12-state area. He received his doctor of philosophy degree from Cornell University in 1929, and a year later a fellowship in social science.
Since 1931, Dr. Foster has been at Merrill-Palmer school in Detroit where he has been doing research He also has conducted summer session courses at Iowa State college at Columbia University, and at Chicago University.

OK., so $65 a month isn't enough money to keep you in razor blades.
You can do something about it.
You can wait on tables and counters. You can play with razors and scissors as a barber. You can be a sweater salesman. Also, the art department needs a few models, and you can make 50 to 60 cents an hour, just sitting.
The Men's Employment bureau in the office of the dean of student affairs, 228 Frank Strong hall, has a new crop of jobs and very few takers, so far.
sweaters and household products.
One summer job, a month ahead of the usual summer employment listings, will give someone a nice vacation in the Colorado mountains, if he can cook. The job offers room and board plus pay for one or two cooks for a Colorado ranch.

Poll To Decide Cakewalk Band
A student poll will be made to decide which band to engage for the Senior Cakewalk, Roy Shoaf, Jr., dance committee member, said today.
Questionnaires will appear in Thursday and Friday editions of the Kansan. They are to be answered and sent to Ray Evans, senior class president. The questions asked are: ONE. Which is your favorite band?
TWO. Do you prefer a Hill band or a name band for the Cakewalk? THREE. How much would you pay for admission?
A Hill band, Matt Betton's orchstra from Manhattan and a name band are all being considered. A charge of $2.50 a couple will probably be asked if a name band is hired.
"Students' reaction to University dances so far this year have been discouraging." Shoaf said. "Their opinions will shape the outcome of the band question if they cooperate in answering the questionnaires."
A.I.C.E. Sponsors Engineering Contest
A contest open to chemical engineering seniors for the solution of a chemical engineering problem will end March 28.
The Cakewalk, tentatively set for May 3, will probably be held in both the ballroom and the Kansas room of the Union building.
Sponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, prizes of $10 to $100 will be given the best solutions.

The problem is being worked under the direction of Dr. Karl Korpi, assistant professor of chemical engineering design. The best solution on the campus will receive a "Chemical Engineer's Handbook" donated by Dr. Shelby Miller, faculty adviser of the student chapter of A.I.C.E.
